JSP date example

Till now you learned about the JSP syntax, now I will show you how to create a simple dynamic JSP page that prints the current date and time. So the following code accomplish this:

<%@page contentType="text/html" import="java.util.*" %>

<!--

http://www.roseindia.net/jsp

-->

<tr>
<td width="100%"><font size="6" color
="#008000"> Date Example</font></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"><b> Current Date
and time is:  <font color="#FF0000">

<%= new java.util.Date() %>
</font></b></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</div>
</body>
</html>

The heart of this example is Date() function of the java.util package which returns the current data and time.

In the JSP Declaratives

<%@page contentType="text/html" import="java.util.*" %>

we are importing the java.util package and following JSP Expression code

<%= new java.util.Date() %>

prints the current date on the page.

Hi Srinivasan: you have to put your file abc.jsp into the folder webapps if you are using Tomcat. Then you have to open your browser and in the addres bar write: http://localhost:8080/abc.jsp
Hope it's what you are asking for.
